THEY DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE SEEDS

Vilyam (William) Sheyvekhman Edmonton, AB

A Holocaust survivor I met at Edmonton’s Jewish Family Services, our conversation was trans- lated by Tatiana Kastner, a gerontological social worker. William was a very warm and lovely man who made me smile as we talked about our grandchildren, and he shared his philosophy regarding being a grandparent: children are the investment and grandchildren are the return.
